About

Rosa Maione is a colorectal surgeon whose work is reshaping how minimally invasive procedures are performed and evaluated. Her primary research focuses on the application of Indocyanine Green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescence imaging in colorectal surgery—a technique that allows surgeons to visualize tissue perfusion in real time. In her most cited study, she retrospectively assessed the impact of ICG on anastomotic leakage rates during laparoscopic and robotic procedures, demonstrating that intraoperative fluorescence angiography can significantly reduce this devastating complication. With 7 citations to date, this work has already informed surgical protocols and sparked broader interest in perfusion-guided surgery. Maione’s contributions lie at the intersection of surgical innovation and patient safety, offering a practical, evidence-based tool for improving outcomes in colorectal resections. Her research is particularly valuable for surgeons and trainees seeking to integrate advanced imaging into routine practice, and it positions her as a rising voice in the field of fluorescence-guided surgery.
